And so I mention different religious cults

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denominations

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'religious cults' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'and so i mention different' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator.
'and'+'so'+'i'+'mention'='andsoimention'
'andsoimention' with letters rearranged gives 'DENOMINATIONS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
